I didn't research it so I don't know

Thank you, heavy machine gun.

Let me rephrase this: I didn't and DID NOT INTEND TO research it.

Well, at least you're straightforward about your laziness. Most people aren't.

My fault, I forgot to say that installing certain codecs many times causes my Adobe Premiere to malfunction as in not show video. The same with my Vegas. One program could be messed up, none, or even both. And if I don't pay attention to my installations, I'll spend hours trying to get both programs back working and end up looking for a different new codec "tiresome"

You may want to scan your system for old codecs that may be conflicting with new installations; such conflicts often are the cause of weird system behaviors. The CCCP Insurgent is a tool designed to assist with that.

Why is it the best codec and I been had ffd and mp4's don't play in my wmp 11.

In video, it usually achieves better perceptual quality at a given bitrate than other widely available video codecs. If quality is what matters most to you, then it's probably the best available codec.

(On the other hand, if stuff like processor usage matters more to you, then you're going to want to look elsewhere.)

FFDShow by itself is not sufficient to read videos in an MP4 container; you also need a piece of software called a splitter. Haali's Media Splitter is popular, and is distributed in the CCCP for easy installation.

Right so here is a example:

The mp4 version is 720x576 and it is only 29.9MB in filesize with a length of 3 minutes and there are things in it that makes the life of codecs harder.
There is also a version with 720x540 in XviD with a size of 64MB at the same (or nearly the same) quality.

It´s just incredible what h.264 can do with good generated footage. I used here footage from my DVDs.
